A US woman who shot and killed her husband and two adult children before taking her own life is thought to have committed the shocking crime as a result of being ostracised from the religion she was raised in.

Every time I tell a mate I’m doing a story on cryptocurrency, they invariably ask me the same two questions: should they invest their own hard-earned money, and which cryptocurrency will get them a Lamborghini/yacht/island quickest?

Another Melbourne council dumps Aust Day

A third Melbourne council which voted to dump Australia Day says the government shouldn't strip it of the right to hold citizenship ceremonies.

Moreland City Council on Wednesday night voted to drop all references to January 26 as Australia Day out of respect for Aboriginal people.

But Moreland will continue holding its official citizenship ceremony on January 26 after a motion to move it was voted down in June.

Mayor Helen Davidson said she hoped this meant Canberra would not strip council of its right to hold citizenship ceremonies, as it did to fellow Melbourne councils Yarra and Darebin after they voted not to hold ceremonies on January 26.

"We hope the commonwealth will note the position that Moreland has taken, which is substantially different from that taken by Darebin and Yarra councils," Ms Davidson said in a statement on Thursday.

"It would be unfortunate for the minister to strip us of our role in conducting citizenship ceremonies."

Moreland Socialist Alliance councillor Sue Bolton said hosting ceremonies and events on January 26 was "grossly insensitive" to aboriginal people.
